Gambhir explains Sanju Samson's exclusion ahead of T20 World Cup

Head coach Gautam Gambhir has admitted that Sanju Samson was dropped from the squad to manage pressure following a poor series against New Zealand.

Gambhir emphasized that the decision was based on Samson's tough series against New Zealand, where he struggled with scores of 10, 6, 0, 24, and 6.

Despite the setback, the coach expressed full confidence in the wicketkeeper-batter's ability to deliver for India in the T20 World Cup, citing his recent match-winning knocks against Zimbabwe and the West Indies.
